Teenage Wasteland

[ryan.riverside]

What's the real name and artist that did the song that everybody knows as "Teenage Wasteland"? This has me sore vexed, and I want to hear it...

The Who did a song called Teenage Wasteland.

[Paul]

Out here in the fields
I fought for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
So let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh... yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted


The Who - Teenage Wasteland.

Edit: meh, werepup beat me.

That's what I thought, but I can't find it ANYWHERE

That's what I thought, but I can't find it ANYWHERE

That's because the song's real title is Baba O'Riley.

I have that song!! I have never listened to it, though!

Edit: THAT'S IT!!!

I knew that it had a different name! Thank you soooo so much!
Thank you halfbakedbliss! I will send you something very special on Neopets! (Is halfbakedbliss your Neopets name as well?)

Now I'm pretty new to this whole PPT Forum thang, but yes - the song christened 'Teenage Wasteland' (as heard in the opening credits to CSI: NY), is in fact called Baba O'Riley.

It's the title track from the very famous Who album 'Who's Next?' .

If you're interested, the song Behing Blue Eyes, as covered by Limp Bizkit, is also on this album.... and yes, The Who version is better. And if you're not a Who devotee, I reccomend Won't Get Fooled Again as well. =D

Just make sure that from now on you call the song "Baba O'Riley" and not "Teenage Wasteland". Many fans of The Who will get very angry when it's referred to by the wrong name.

[ryan.riverside]

Indeed. I have already made that mental switch. I feel much better inside than I did before. I am a better person now that I call the song "Baba O'Riley"
